Uranium recovered from spent nuclear fuel has nowhere obvious to go — a bit too fissile to bury, but too degraded to re-enrich economically. Could using it in CANDUs be the answer? Fluoride volatility may deliver it in exactly the right chemical form to avoid the fabrication problems that stalled the last serious attempt.

Thorium has always been a part of the rare-earths story that sits right under the radar. Flibe's participation at a recent Army workshop on rare-earths at the University of Nevada, Reno, helped bring the issue to light.

Our friends Jack Spencer and Mike Anderson talk about thorium and its potential, check it out!

"What about the waste?" they always seen to say about nuclear. Liquid-fluoride thorium reactors will stop making new waste and the tech will let us go back and make use of the waste we've already made. This is a big step:

Flibe Energy is very excited to work on sustainable solutions for our nation's underappreciated treasure: spent nuclear fuel.
We were grateful for the opportunity to talk to Adam Taggart of @thoughtfulmoney recently and remembered that he has been talking to us for a long time about thorium:

Thank you to @USRepGaryPalmer for bringing up the value of thorium reactors and uranium-233 in a congressional hearing yesterday!

We are pleased to make our fuel cycle video available in Korean.

As war swept over the world, a war launched on the belief that energy resources were limited, young Glenn Seaborg discovered that natural thorium could be transformed into the world's greatest energy resource. Over 80 years later, its potential still remains.
U-233 is, gram for gram, America's greatest energy asset, and we should preserve it.

Uranium has 92 protons and usually 146 neutrons (U-238). 7 out of 1000 atoms of uranium have 143 neutrons (U-235) and are fissile. Strike thorium with a neutron and you'll form uranium with 141 neutrons (U-233) that is also fissile.
